SUBJECT: my 3 year old refuses to be toilet trained
Please Help! my 3 year old daughter refuses, and I mean refuses to be toilet trained! She knows all of her colors, can identify all of the alphabet, and numbers 1-10; however she cannot be potty trained. I started over 1 year ago! Last september and october i thought we were almost THERE, but then i started working on the weekends and she stopped saying "potty". around january of this year for additional reasons, i stopped my weekend job. unfortunately she didn't start saying "potty" again. the only time she might say it is when it's time for bed and she's in bed and wants to get out of bed. however, when she says it she's already done it in her pull-up. I take her every morning when i wake her up. most of the time she's crying and not wanting to go potty. and she WILL NOT have a BM in the toilet at all. I will catch her when she's under the kitchen table (in her regular "poop-spot" :( } and run her to the bathroom and she will just sit there and not "poop". Believe me, I've sat there with her for 2 hours one time, singing and reading books; yet no poop. What should i do next?
